April 11, the website of the Ministry of Commerce reported that a press spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered questions from reporters regarding China's further litigation against US tariff measures on Chinese products at the WTO.
Question: It is reported that China has filed an additional lawsuit with the WTO over the US' further increase in so-called "reciprocal tariffs". Could you please introduce the specific situation?
Answer: Local time April 10 in the US, the US side issued an executive order, announcing further increases in the so-called "reciprocal tariffs" on Chinese products exported to the United States. China has initiated litigation against the US' further tariff increase measures under the dispute settlement mechanism of the WTO.
The US' tariff measures are typical examples of unilateral bullying and coercive practices, seriously violating WTO rules and severely undermining the multilateral trading system based on rules and international economic and trade order. China will firmly defend its own legitimate rights and interests and firmly uphold the multilateral trading system and international economic and trade order. We urge the US to immediately correct its wrong practices and cancel all unilateral tariff measures against China.
